Graduate School Research Expenditures by Sub-Field

[teroenza]

I am looking for a central source of physics graduate school research expenditures, broken down by sub-field (nuclear, condensed matter, AMO, HEP, etc.). I can find the total amount spent here

but I am not sure where to go for this kind of specificity. This is going to be a rough guide to what each school specializes in as I evaluate grad schools.

Thanks

The department profiles at Gradschoolshopper.com has exactly what you're looking for, they pull all their data straight from AIS.

Thanks so much. I just realized that I needed to click around to find the .pdf version of the full department breakdown.

That's the one I used when I was looking. It was in book form back then.

for your question! I completely understand your need for specific and detailed information when evaluating graduate schools for your research interests. I suggest checking out the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Survey of Graduate Students and Postdoctorates in Science and Engineering (GSS) for this type of data. The NSF GSS collects information on research expenditures by sub-field for graduate students in science and engineering fields, including physics. You can access this data through the NSF's website or through their data tool, WebCASPAR. Additionally, many universities also publish their own data on research expenditures by sub-field on their websites, so be sure to check the individual websites of the schools you are interested in. I hope this helps in your search for the right graduate school for you. Best of luck!
